Default Turbo issue

Just got done with head job and alls well with the exception of turbo/boost. Throws a code for turbo/supercharger circuit low. when I key on the turbo gauge goes to 0 level but then drops out like it lost all contact. Being theres only one connection to turbo which is the VGT is there a test for the VGT functiong correctly? Take it up to abot 2500 RPM and the programmer (Edge) shows only 3-7 lbs.

you can go in with a scan tool and change vgt vane percentages with a boost gauge installed and see what you readings you get.

Well new development got my dumass out there and hooke in the intake air lin to the sensor by the heater/ac box. I had taken it off to make room for the head removal and I ddint put it back in yet. Both gauge on instrument and programmer read now but no power like it ought to. Sounded like a pretty good leak in one of the pipes so get that dialed in and see what happens.
